On September 15, the Hong Kong stock market witnessed two significant index adjustments: Shein-W was officially included in the Hang Seng Composite Index and its sub-indices, while the consultation period for the reform of the Hang Seng TECH Index entered its final stage. The Hang Seng Index series is undergoing a series of intensive rule adjustments, covering aspects from the rapid inclusion mechanism for individual stocks to the systemic reshaping of flagship indices. Analysts pointed out that the inclusion of Shein-W is expected to attract related capital allocation and enhance stock liquidity. If the Hang Seng TECH Index is expanded to 50 constituents as per the consultation proposal and a dual-track stock selection mechanism based on 'market capitalization + revenue growth' is introduced, the landscape of Hong Kong's technology indices may undergo significant changes.
